I recently acquired from a deceased neighbours collection, this set of 1” dies, they are marked from 8G to 13G, some also have a thread pitch marked. The only one I could confirm is the 32 TPI. Like...

Does any one recognise the make of this boring head please?
it’s an iso40 mounting, ny guess is American as the grub screws are all UNF, and the big adjuster is ½”UNF giving 0.05” per revolution. ...

I know this thread has been out there long enough to have grown cold, but I worked in PV. for many years, including a a tracking system that had no moving parts. In essence a panel was set up facing...

Well, this is not exactly a rapid feedback, life gets in the way of fun some times. However i spent a while thinking about the sundry helpful comments. In the end pragmatism dominated and I ground...

I’m new to this, but I really value the community support. I recently acquired a small Shaeffner W12 mill, old and well used but the ways are still nice. I have never really aspired to a mill, as...
